Experimental Particle Physics

三年的时间尺度是特别令人兴奋的希格斯发现的可能性在Tevatron和开放的新能源前沿在LHC：我们将集中精力在希格斯分析，发现和解释，并寻找新的物理在CP违反和罕见的B衰变。改进分析技术、校准良好的探测器、提高计算能力和理论投入将是必不可少的。所有学者都积极参与LHC计划，我们的战略是根据在这些实验中开发的专业知识以及CDF和ZEUS以及ALEPH的两个实验（ATLAS和LHCb）产生领先的物理结果。我们计划为ATLAS和CDF及时提供希格斯极限设置和发现的第一个结果。我们将确保CDF的高质量完成，我们在希格斯分析中设定了苛刻的目标，这将使ATLAS受益。我们的ZEUS参与强子末态和提示光子部门将同样支持ATLAS的第一个结果。基于我们早期的工作，我们将成为回答有关质量起源和CP破坏性质的问题的关键参与者。对于LHC B，我们将发现罕见的两体B衰变，并寻找CP破坏的魅力与早期的数据样本。我们将进行一个罕见的衰变过程的详细研究和树和回路图介导的测量提供显着的新的物理灵敏度的幺正角γ的比较。我们将继续投资并推动世界级的探测器开发活动，以实现长期计划，我们的Grid实力旨在最大限度地发挥我们在LHC物理学方面的影响力。我们还通过苏格兰资助理事会（SFC）和学院在这些领域的杠杆支持。我们已经建立了ATLAS和LHCb的物理分析流，使用网格，并将充分利用第一个LHC数据。我们还将继续参与我们发挥领导作用的长期举措。我们目前参与LHCb升级，ATLAS-FP计划，超级LHC强度升级和未来中微子计划。我们期待更多地参与线性对撞机的工作，视大型强子对撞机的发现而定。在接下来的三年里，我们将发展这些领域，并在早期投资将成为最有成效的领域取得进展，与LHC物理开发的最高优先级保持一致。

The three-year timescale is particularly exciting with the possibility of Higgs discovery at the Tevatron and the opening of the new energy frontier at the LHC: we will focus our efforts on Higgs analysis, discovery and interpretation, and the search for new physics in CP violation and rare B decays. Improved analysis techniques, well-calibrated detectors, increased computing power and theoretical input will be essential. All academics are heavily involved in the LHC programme and our strategy is to generate leading-edge physics results from two experiments (ATLAS and LHCb) based upon expertise developed in those experiments and from CDF and ZEUS, as well as ALEPH. We plan to provide timely first results in Higgs limit setting and discovery for ATLAS and CDF. We will secure high-quality completion on CDF where we have set demanding goals in the Higgs analyses that will benefit ATLAS. Our ZEUS involvements in the hadronic final state and prompt photon sectors will similarly underpin first ATLAS results. Based on our earlier work, we will be key players in answering questions concerning the origin of mass and the nature of CP violation. For LHCb, we will discover rare two body B decays and search for CP violation in charm with early data samples. We will perform a detailed study of a rare decay process and a comparison of tree and loop diagram mediated measurements of the unitarity angle gamma that offer significant new physics sensitivity. We continue to invest in and promote a world-class Detector Development activity to enable longer-term initiatives and our Grid strength is aimed at maximising our impact in LHC physics. We additionally lever support through Scottish Funding Council (SFC) and the Faculty in these areas. We have set up physics analysis streams for ATLAS and LHCb, using the Grid, and will fully exploit the first LHC data. We will also maintain our involvement in longer-term initiatives where we have leadership roles. We presently participate in the LHCb upgrade, the ATLAS-FP initiative, the super-LHC intensity upgrades and future neutrino initiatives. We anticipate greater involvement in linear collider work, contingent upon discoveries made at the LHC. Over the next three years we will develop these areas and progress those where early investment will become most productive, consistent with the highest priority of LHC physics exploitation.
